Chapter 7: The Past
Lu Huan's words were really like thunder, which frightened everyone. It's not appropriate for the princess to ascend the throne, and it is not okay for the eighth princess to ascend the throne, what is she thinking?
Jiang Yan's pupils shrank, his eyes circled around Lu Huan's calm face, and he pulled the corners of his mouth: "Then ask Master Lu to find a way to make this palace right." ”
Lu Huan didn't look at her, and replied with two words expressionlessly: "Can't." ”
Jiang Yan could endure her attitude, but Wu Di couldn't bear it. She was so angry that she raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at her and scolded: "Okay, you Lu Huan, is it difficult for you to succeed in trying to ascend the throne yourself!" ”
Lu Huan flicked the dust on his body, and arched his hand to Emperor Shanghui Sheng's deep eyes: "Your Majesty, the princess cannot make the world submit, and the eighth princess has no heart for the world, so it is better to choose another princess to take the throne." ”
Emperor Hui Sheng opened his mouth and said in a dumb voice: "You, you are ...... Want to ......"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the eleventh princess who had been bowing her head and pretending to disappear. Compared to the Empress Dowager and the Eighth Imperial Maiden, she wears the only robe that can see people. Though she had put out her best clothes, the sleeves barely covered her thin wrists.
Everyone's eyes looked over with incredulity.
As if realizing that he had become the focus of the audience, Jiang Qi took a few deep breaths, secretly calmed down, and still his face sank like water, kneeling motionless, as if everything in the palace had nothing to do with her.
"This ......" Wu Di stared at Jiang Qi's small figure in a daze, and couldn't find words to answer for a while.
Not only her, but the others were so shocked that they couldn't say half a word.
Jiang Qi's father, Xie Yuan, died of illness not long after she was born, so Jiang Qi took the name of his father, so low that even the inner servant could step on it.
In that year, Emperor Hui Sheng went out of the palace in Weifu, went north to Saiwai, encountered a horse thief, was injured and fled to a herdsman's house surnamed Xie, and was rescued by the Xie family.
Later, Emperor Hui Sheng and Xie Yuan fell in love for a long time and became pregnant with the current third prince Xie Yu. Emperor Hui Sheng revealed his identity and wanted to bring Xie Yuan back to the palace, but the Xie family didn't want Xie Yuan to enter the palace and drove Emperor Hui Sheng out of the Xie family.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Hui Sheng thought about it day and night, until Xie Yuan gave birth to Xie Yu, and Emperor Hui Sheng connected Xie Yuan's father and son to the capital and placed them in the suburban palace.
Although Xie Yuan did not enter the palace, the title of Emperor was left to him early. Xie Yuan's health deteriorated a lot after giving birth to Xie Yu, and it took several years to recuperate. At that time, it was Jiang Yan's father Wu Guijun who was in charge of the harem, and after hearing about this, he looked for an opportunity to take Xie Yuan's father and son into the palace.
After the death of Emperor Hui Sheng's Fengjun, Fengjun's position has been vacant, and he has not been re-established, and his daily affairs have always been taken care of by Wu Guijun, who thought that Fengjun was already in his pocket, but unexpectedly, an imperial monarch suddenly appeared, how could he swallow this breath!
Despite the protection of Emperor Hui Sheng, after Xie Yuan gave birth to Jiang Qi, he couldn't support it. When he was dying, he asked Emperor Hui Sheng to promise that the two children he gave birth to were surnamed Xie, but after Xie Yuan died, the girl he just gave birth to was still named Jiang Qi by Emperor Hui Sheng, and the third prince Xie Yu has always used the surname Xie.
Later, it was rumored in the palace that Jiang Qike's father was unknown, and Emperor Hui Sheng gradually forgot about Xie Yuan's two children and left them to fend for themselves.
Now when I heard Lu Huan propose to let Jiang Qi inherit the throne, it was really surprising.
"This ......," Chen Yanli, who could speak well, didn't know what to say at this time.
The princess still has stains, and the eight princesses are not perfect, but these eleven princesses are really difficult to find shortcomings. By virtue of her background, her biological father was the emperor's nobleman, and her status was second only to that of the princess; Based on performance, although it is not outstanding, it is not bad. Although she is in an embarrassing situation in the palace, she is humble and polite, advances and retreats in moderation, will not attract attention, and is praised when she is mentioned. The only deficiency -
"If this palace is not mistaken, the eleventh imperial sister seems to be only ten years old this year!"
